Phase I

The very first thing our students will do is complete a 13 module online academic program.  The 13 modules of study include all areas of anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, anesthesia, procedure fundamentals, legal aspects for the first assistant, and much more.   This is a triple tier password protected system.  All testing, quizzes, and grading is online, as is the majority of the curriculum.  CLICK HERE for more info
